I programmed in BASIC when ~6yo.
Then we got Turbo C and my dad explained high-level vs low-level languages. With Turbo C I could read the mouse!

At #AtmosphereConf in Vancouver BC (atmosphereconf.org).
It's nice seeing a bunch of familiar faces!
Me: "so how old are your kids?”
Random mom from park: “3, 6, 9”

The mom: <stares at me>
Me: (oh no)
Mom: “ha, I had almost forgotten that song!"
Me: (phew)
